Obama has to run on his record this time not his skin color.
Obama has a rock bottom voter %age of 42.That means he’s almost home. All he need do is demonize the GOP candidate just enough to move enough independents to his camp. He only needs the economy to begin to nudge toward recovery, and he can trumpet his war on al Queda to influence the indies.Palin and Ryan et al are smart and they can see the numbers. Palin knew her image had been damaged irreparably by the media and Ryan has the brains and the right ideas, but he lacks any recognition and charisma.Too much of the country is entwined with govt entitlements. (I too am in my first year of SS payments).This will cause a catastrophe in the years ahead, but most Americans aren’t looking past their next paycheck or entitlement check.IMO conservatives have lost this battle, at least in national elections.
